In his first-ever interview, the sole Australian survivor of the Waco siege has revealed to 60 Minutes what really took place during the 51-day stand-off, and why he believes crazed cult leader David Koresh will one day return to Earth as the son of God.

Victims of crime advocate Steve Medcraft believes victims of crime deserve much better than the current system that allows such adjournments to occur.

"Adjournments in our system are a scourge on justice," Mr Medcraft said.

"Victims deserve better.

"Criminals, it's time the game was called to an end. You suffer the penalty, not the victims."

Neville Donohue, 63, is one offender who has adjourned his court proceedings multiple times.

The fake Vietnam War veteran adjourned court matters for a string of deception charges 23 times over a three year period.

His excuses for adjournment included that he was dying, had just weeks to live and was on special military duty.

Last month, he was found guilty of 36 charges relating to deception, falsely purporting to be a returned serviceman, falsely purporting to be a Commonwealth official, wearing military medals without entitlement, obtaining property by deception, using false documents and driving while suspended.

A Current Affair spoke to a number of lawyers and compiled a list of excuses people have used to adjourn court matters.

Among them: my dog was run over; I can't afford a lawyer, I'm saving up; my lawyer is sick; I've had a fight with my lawyer; I'm sick: my brother/sister/father/mother is sick.

Despite the flimsiness of the excuses, all were successful in securing an adjournment.
